Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Just got confirmation from NSF that all review panel meetings scheduled for this week are canceled and will be rescheduled. Story coming.

Here's an e-mail that just went out to NASA agency wide. 🔭

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

📣 Attention #chemsky: Nominate an emerging leader in Bioinorganic and Medicinal Inorganic Chemistry for the Jonathan L. Sessler Fellowship 📅 Deadline: January 31 All info: www.acs.org/funding/scho... Please tell all your colleagues on and off 🦋

I’m a little late in posting this but I wanted give a shoutout to my lab for all their hard work and perseverance over the years. I also want to do a round up of the papers we got out this past year. It was a busy year last year and this year is looking just as productive. 1/2

OK, trying the Bluesky thing. Who's here?

Has someone done the chemistry version of this meme yet? #chemsky

Good to be in So Cal for the week

🧲👍 @kaustubhmote.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/nmr9...

chemsky 🧪 ⚗️ inorganic people, I'm delighted to need to ask you this: What's a good book that talks about inorganic chemistry in an accessible manner? (was delighted when a student I am mentoring asked for this as a Christmas present)

So many women chemists on Bluesky we needed *2* starter packs?? Awesome!! 🦋🦋 go.bsky.app/9H4Ldqx

I made a magnetic resonance starter pack! go.bsky.app/NiqEFGm I am sure I missed people, please ask if you would like to be included (or removed). #NMRChat #ChemSky

🧪 Want to build your own NMR probe? Of course you do! Jose Uribe and I wrote a practical tutorial about the basics. This paper is for students and others who have NMR background but have not tried building a probe yet. #ChemSky #NMRChat www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The dept is searching for a lab manager for our under grad labs in our new chemistry building! #chemjobs jobs.uwm.edu/postings/38949

After a very long hiatus, the Penn State Bioinorganic workshop is back! Thrilled to be a part of this fantastic workshop with so many great people! sites.psu.edu/bioinorganic...

Folks, it is a very very bad week in the UW System

This is an accurately devastating look at the current state of the UW System

Introduce yourself with some jobs you have done apart from what you do now: -Video rental store cashier -Liquor Store clerk -Oil Field pump repair -Secretary/Hospital tech

Not only will the Wisconsin Legislature slice and dice the UW system budget but they (Vos specifically) will withhold a pay raise that doesn’t keep up with inflation over DEI efforts 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ pbswisconsin.org/news-item/vo...
